Re: Last-Verified Date Contact Element
Rick, I asked: > > What prevents a client providing some authInfo from also attempting to set > > upID and set or modify upDate? You replied: > the updated date and last-modified date are managed by the registry. Here's what I ment: The <contact:upID> is an <info> response element that contains the identifier of the client that last updated the contact object. The <contact:clID> element that contains the identifier of the sponsoring client. This client has the valid authInfo, and can perform an <update> on the contact object in question. If that client wants to date-stamp/touch a client object for the purpose of associating some temporal identifier to "verification" (and I still don't know wha that means), isn't this the recipie? This either sets or modifies the <contact:upID> and sets or modifies the <contact:upDate>. It is true these elements are managed by the registry, but they are done so in response to client-initiated events. I guess I'm still in the dark about the mechanism, as well as the purpose, and utility. Color me clueless, Eric
